I couldn't decide on either clever title. LOL SO last week we figured out that Jake is lactose intolerant. Which lead me to want him get allergy tested incase we were missing anything else. We went this morning, and the boy is also allergic to beef. Well the protein in the beef, which is also found in the milk. Let me just say, that since we took him off lactose, this kid as been 100% better about everything. I did a ton of research on it, and found that the sugar from the lactose can also cause focusing problems. Pair that with the fact he just plain wasn't feeling good, you had a none focused whiney unhappy kid!!! His school work was never awful, infact he is an awesome student. BUT now he's getting things done much faster. He is the top of his class in math, but was always the last to finish his work. Now his teacher said he is the first done, and his paper is always right!! Last monday, we sat and went through EVERY toy in his room. Tossed about 3 trash bags full of them. And he helped me every bit of the way! He would just SIT in there before for HOURS when asked to clean his room. There was not one tear shed, no fights it was fabulous! Plus it has stayed picked up since then!!!! I can't get over all this because he was drinking milk! We have found a great lactose free milk that he loves, so he's not totally deprived! However it is hard to get. We went to 2 different kroger's yesterday and both were out! So if anyone sees Horizon lactose free milk in bulk, let me know! He is also allergic to every tree, pollen dust mites, weed, grass, hay, Dogs, Cats. Basically any shedding animal. The doc also thinks that he will end up having seasonal asthma just like Sophie. He was put on an inhaler for football season and did a lot better with it.
Friday is Sophie's turn. I should have had her tested years ago, but never wanted to put either kid through the pain.
